Dr. Adjei is a very tough prof. But I got an A because I studied 4 hours per day. He has little tolerance for goofs or lazy students. You can learn alot, but YOU will have to put in some serious effort. If you want an easy bio class, this is not it - but you can learn alot from him if you are deliberate.

Gideon Adjei is a professor best described by the sight of a mother cockroach birthing its young. His lectures are directly from the powerpoint that comes with the textbook, he reads them verbatim. He tends to skip vital information often, then moves up test dates with a 1 to 2 day notice. Good luck learning 3 chapters back to back in 2 days!

The worst professor my class peers and I have ever experienced. Missed the first two weeks of class with no notice and came in with a weak story as to why. Professor spent the entire semester solely reading off the power points provided by the textbook. Nightmare professor. DO NOT TAKE!!!

I nearly didnt take his course after going through the reviews but on a second thought, i went ahead to take him and am glad i did. Professor Adjei is an easy going person who is passionate about his students having good grades. He gives reviews before exams.. He does not have time for lazy students, he wants you study hard. I will take him again.

He is the worst teacher I ever had. His lecture and test are really really heavy. In my class just few( 1 or 2) people can get the good grade. But in general is really bad. His test is 100 questions and the test review is useless. And he did not review anything for final too. He also has really bad english accent. he DOES NOT CARE about his student

I had Dr. Adjei in person then online because of the pandemic( Lab). In class he does lecture, but he has a thick accent so what he's saying isn't clear. His test are easy if you know your structures. He does look for specific things while grading tests. He only gives test and one assignment; also a lab book. Not good with questions!

Mr. Adjei is a good person but as a professor I do not recommend you take his class. The lectures are very dull and depressing as he speaks in a monotone voice and goes through a powerpoint. If that is our type of class he is your man. Hard class but if you do take him as a teacher keep up to date with your work and assignments and READ the text.
